If someone is not alive to answer a phone, that fact is not probative that they were killed versus dying of natural causes.

A homicide, even a negligent homicide, is based on the accused having a reasonable expectation that the dead man would die as a direct result of his action or inaction.

Every year many, many hundreds of big guys who resist arrest find themselves in a choke hold.

Very few die of a massive coronary.

And every time an innocent man dies at the hands of the police it is an outrage.

"Every year many, many hundreds of big guys who resist arrest find themselves in a choke hold.Very few die of a massive coronary."

Officers Daniel Pantaleo and Justin Damico were both put on desk duty a day after the death of Eric Garner.

Number 99 clearly applied an improper (and illegal) choke hold.

By the way, what's with all the tattoos on that one cop in the baggy shorts and tee shirt. The guy looks like a gang banger.

Section 203-11 of the NYPD Patrol Guide is clear:

---

“Members of the New York City Police Department will not use choke holds. A choke hold shall include, but is not limited to, any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air.”
